BLOG FEATURE/Q&A : KARLA DERAS OF KARLA'S CLOSET

So as I had promised in an earlier post here , this is the little project I was talking about!

I have only been blogging for a couple of months and I was inspired to blog by the one and only Karla Deras. I discovered her blog sometime this year and I must say she is a great influence on a lot of fashion conscious people. She has been running her blog for the past three years and it has grown into a very successful website. Karla has featured in some ads for Olsenboye, Elie Saab, American Apparel, theoutnet.com and she has been featured and interviewed for various magazines worldwide. She has also designed a bag for Coach along with other bloggers and has been invited to several shows such as the recently concluded Victoria Secret Fashion show.

I feel beyond honoured to have gotten her to answer a few questions despite her busy schedule and I am thrilled to share with you all.In between the Q&A, I shall include some of my favourite outfits of her's.I promise to melt your eyeballs with an overload of pictures.Enjoy the post!

What/Who influences your style? Vintage glamour.

Any favourite stores and designers?

I love Nicolas Ghesquiére, Margiela, Miuccia Prada, and Peter Copping. Some of my favorite stores are Shareen Vintage, Hubba Hubba, American Rag, and any place that sells beautiful shoes!

I have noticed you are very fit.I must say I am very jealous(LOL),do you have any workout plans and beauty routines?Readers are eager to hear!

I've actually settled down a little bit since it's the winter season. Lately I've been doing resistance training and spin classes three times a week. I try to maintain a healthy diet and stay away from processed foods- lots of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains.

What kind of food do you enjoy?

I love Italian- tuna tartare is one of my favorite foods ever.

You have the closet that any fashionable girl would die for,do you have any wardrobe staples?

Wow, you're so lucky to have had her answer your questions! I'm such a huge fan of hers too, she's amazing! And these pictures are gorgeous I haven't seen a lot of them, it's interesting to see how much her style has changed x

I am a 20 year old girl who finds beauty in everything art related, be it cooking,fine art, dance, music,photography and fashion. My blog is a medley of fashion, lifestyle, inspirations amongst other things. Sort of a diary of my evolution as a person over the years and what inspires me. Hopefully you learn a thing or two.
